Mr. Weston, you're saying that Sobeys and Metro represent you in the working group, and yet Sobeys and Metro support a code of conduct. If they represent you, why do they support the code, but you don't? What you're saying doesn't add up. I don't understand. Something doesn't make sense.
You said that you need to keep your ability to charge suppliers fees. That's one of the reasons why negotiations are under way to bring in a code of conduct. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, Mr. Weston, but what I'm hearing makes me wonder whether your company is acting in good faith or whether it intends to keep following the same practices it has been following for years.
